What makes it different from others?
... View MoreEasily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
... View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
... View MoreThrough painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
... View MoreI thought I had heard some awful comments about this movie, so I skipped seeing it last spring. I just watched the DVD and the film had many plot twists, interesting character analyses, a lot of Judaic references, great music, great acting...it was totally worth seeing. It's a shame there's some "blue" words, because if you can get over it, it's a movie that's totally apt for a confirmation class, and even young adults, if they are into Jewish history and family relationships, will get something of great value from viewing this film. I highly recommend it. Don't get turned off by the somewhat slow start...there is a lot to come. Also some of the alternate menu options are worth exploring.
... View MoreRent it soon! We laughed and cried and thought a lot about this poignant film when it was over. Please rent it if you care about Jewish culture or family dynamics. Rent it even if you don't. Support independent film-making. Acting was great. Story was great. Direction was great. Film-making at its finest. Share it with your friends as a holiday gift so they won't think their own family is the most dysfunctional they have ever known. This film was a clever mix of Torah and storytelling, neurosis and madness. If you haven't been to a crazy Seder, this is your chance. If you haven't been to any Seder, this is your chance.
... View More'When Do We Eat?' has what all the great comedy films have, at least in my opinion...a great ensemble cast. That's what really works in great situation comedy, be it a theatrical film or in television. You can visit the When Do We Eat web site for a great trailer, so I won't go into the details or premise of the film, as I'm sure many others here have. Suffice to say, if you want great laughs, and a 'go away feeling good' film go and see When Do We Eat. Oh (minor spoiler), loved the 'halucination' scenes and oh yeah great sound track! As I think someone else said, it was good to see 'ol Jack Klugman gravely voice and all. He still has it!
... View MoreIf this is your "typical" Jewish family getting together for a Seder, then I am glad my family isn't "typical". This movie was an excuse to show neurotic Jewish people sitting around table and they saved it to show at Passover. My friends and I are all Jewish and we saw nothing we could relate to in the movie. Period. Even if the throw the word "matzoh" around another 100 times, and throw in some Biblical passages about Elijah, this movie does NOT represent anyone or anything I have ever seen at a Seder. C'mon folks. Please save your money and see something you can stay awake to. I know I couldn't. The only redeeming aspect of this movie is the occasionally whimsical Klezmer music combined with some Rasta. I read all the reviews before I went to see it and thought I was going to be entertained. Instead, I took a nap and for that, I didn't have to spend money in the middle of the afternoon. Attend a real Seder. This (to me) was nothing but slapstick with a Haggadah thrown in for good measure. Terrible.
